How do the rules on trades work when players sign and/or are traded. The time limit Randy Foye can be traded and Sebastian Telefair. Not that I want Telefair, just using him since he was a traded player. 6 month wait from the time of the transaction?

I dont think AI and Pierce wins a title, whereas Perk, Al, Pierce, Green and whoever might in a couple of years.

I think winning a title with AI and Pierce is way more likely than hoping a couple of tall benchwarmers develop into superstars.

In order for Telfair/Green/Jefferson to develop into a contending tandem, they would not only have to exceed all realistic expectations put upon them, but they would have to out-develop the much better young cores that other EC teams have.

I really think that if you're Danny Ainge, you have to face the facts, and do one of two things:
A: Trade away your rookie contracts for a guy like Iverson that will give you an outside chance during each of the next three years.
B: Trade Pierce away for a couple draft picks, and hope you can assemble a young core that is superior to all the ones I listed above.

Would anybody here take Telfair/Green/Jefferson over any of those young cores I listed? I think every one of those groups is better.

I just don't see how the contracts could work. Somebody would have to be willing to take Wally, and I don't know any team that would want him. Who's capped out and needs help desperately at swingman? They also need to have 8.8 million in short term contracts lying around.
